Recap by phillip woo

Amazingly settled midfield along the rails, cornered four deep, ducked to the rails at the 100m and quickened well to get up 30m out for a second straight win. Oscar Miracle settled fifth and one off the rails, swung the final bend with three wider out and finished well to snatch second on the wire. Business As Usual was gifted an uncontested lead, cornered narrowly on top and grudgingly gave way late. Verdane strolled forward from a wide gate to park outside the leader at the 600m, drew level rounding the final bend and lost a placing late. Favourite Soul Achiever bided his time second from the rear, worked into the clear with two wider out at the 250m and was hitting the line with purpose to just miss a Quartet spot in his initial run at the Valley. He wasn't suited by the pace. Bespoke Collars travelled fourth from the rear after getting hampered at the break, stayed closest to the inside upon straightening and ran on steadily without menacing. Entrusting made some ground widest out without menacing after travelling fourth from the back. He too was at the mercy of a slow pace. Flying Unicorn was already struggling when hampered between runners 200m out following a prominent run along the rails.
